September began with humbling experiences and sacred adventures that I’m still carrying in my heart. The start of this month has reminded me once again how paddle boarding is so much more than movement on the water, it’s a way of calming the nervous system, finding peace, and remembering who we truly are.

I had the honor of teaching paddle boarding at a retreat for human trafficking survivors, and beyond that, I was blessed to simply sit with them over three days filled with connection, holiness, and deep vulnerability. Words feel small compared to what God wove together in that space.

September, you’ve only just begun, yet you’ve already touched so many lives, including my own. Paddle boarding continues to heal, relieve stress, and spark peace.

My heart is full of gratitude this Sunday. 💙🌊 I’d love to hear one thing that your grateful in this moment. Share below!

We’ve officially entered the “-ber” months, the cozy season is sneaking in. Even though fall doesn’t officially arrive for a few weeks, our bodies already start shifting with the seasons. 🍂 The way we eat, drink, sleep, and move naturally changes as the air cools and the days shorten. Living with the rhythm of the seasons reminds us to slow down, nourish differently, and flow with nature’s cycles. 🌙

I’m also kicking this week off with being apart of a 3-day women’s retreat and two private paddleboard classes and I can’t wait for what the rest of September will bring.

This month also holds my favorite event of the year, our Witches Brew Paddle + Fall Basket Giveaway 🧙‍♀️🧺🎃. It’s where magic, movement, and community all come together on the water.

Here’s to soaking up these last golden summer days, welcoming the cozy transitions, and making September unforgettable. 💫

Who’s ready for some autumn magic on the board? ✨🍁

This morning, as I mapped out the week ahead, I found myself reflecting on the incredible women God has brought into my life. I am in awe of how He orchestrates these connections, weaving us together for something beautiful and purposeful. Recently, I was invited to be part of a women’s retreat, and I am filled with so much gratitude for the opportunity to serve, to witness healing, and to simply be present in people’s lives.

Paddleboarding has always been so much more to me than a sport. On the water, there’s a stillness, a sacred pause. It’s a chance to slow down, to breathe, to be fully present, and to connect with the beauty of God’s creation. Each moment on the board is a reminder of His grace, a chance to experience healing and restoration through nature, through movement, through presence.

Sharing this experience with others is deeply personal and profoundly rewarding. Teaching someone to paddle, guiding them on the water, or simply witnessing their awe as they embrace the stillness, it touches me in ways that words can hardly describe. It’s not just about skill or recreation; it’s about light, connection, and the sacredness of being fully alive in the moment.

Next week, I get to meet a group of women I’ve never met before, each on their own healing journey. I am humbled and honored to be a part of their story, to walk alongside them, even if just for a short time and share the beauty, peace, and light that paddleboarding brings. This is my passion, my joy, and my calling: to create space for connection, reflection, and renewal on the water.

To anyone considering stepping onto a paddleboard: it’s more than just a sport. It’s a sanctuary, a place to reconnect with yourself, with God, and with the world around you. It’s a gentle reminder that life’s most beautiful moments often happen when we pause, breathe, and embrace the present.

July has been full of connection, calm, and powerful moments on the water. I’ve been holding space for beautiful classes and I haven’t shared much because I’ve been in it. But I’m so grateful. Here’s a glimpse of the magic. If you’ve been thinking about booking a session, let’s make it happen 💦
